Free Pregnancy and Parenting Classes
Pregnancy and Parenting classes (Antenatal Classes) are a great opportunity to meet other expectant parents in the area and gain support from other families on the same journey.
You will learn about late pregnancy, labour, birth, breastfeeding and the early days with a new baby. Local Midwife Eartha Healy, and Registered Nurse and Lactation Consultant Debbie Tetlow, will talk with you about what happens during labour and birth, and in the days after.
